It's quite funny (in a cringe-inducing kind of way, I'm not trying to make light of this situation) how this compares to another incident recently where someone was accused of things and said "I was sick" and some people were outraged how the poor sick person was treated.
I've been sitting on the fence here (very uncomfortable) and honestly can't figure out what crwth is accused of. There were pictures provided of activities that seemed legit. I don't think the original thread promised detailed receipts.
That's not to say there isn't an issue with funds, or that there isn't a communication problem, but it looks to me like there also was a failure to convey expectations to the organizers of this charity, either in advance or at least after those big donations were given. It's seems a bit disingenuous to demand receipts a year later.
IOTW it was possible (at last for crwth; not sure about the other two people involved) to be completely honest and follow the letter and the spirit of the charity thread and end up with a red tag/flag for it because he didn't do something that wasn't part of the deal. I think that's messed up. I will oppose the flag until and unless actual proof of misconduct is provided.
All of them posted pictures of whatever event they were a part of up until June of this year. Then everything stopped. I said in the beginning I believe they were doing good for their communities, but there was a definite breach of contract.
This fund raising program will be conducting such activities like feeding program, helping the orphans and other possible donations.
Funds will be hold by an escrow (bl4nkcode), and for every donations TXID will also be posted here to let the public keep in touch.
Updates, Activities, Images will be posted here as soon as we have conducted such activities.
Just because cabalism13 posted the thread, he is the only 1 being held responsible in alot of peoples minds, but in fact all 3 involved agreed to these terms so all 3 are guilty IMO.
I cannot say for sure that any 1 of the 3 stole a single penny. That is reflected in my trust given to all 3. I have not called any of them thieves. What prompted me to give a negative was the lack of response, lack of even logging in, and the response given when they did log in. The community 100% deserved a warning to be seen before they decided to donate another cent. The charity needs/needed an official book keeper so as to show where every cent was going. They failed to show all of that to this point. Flags and tags can be changed, I have no issue with anyone withdrawing support or opposing. Crwth contacted me last night, so I knew he was going to post today and I also told him his rep was salvageable. The other 2 I wasn't so sure of due to their actions to this point, but they may just be away for the holidays who knows.
I agree it will be nearly impossible to get receipts from the beginning, but I would say that they could see what all was donated and get a price for all those items then add it all together and show on the spreadsheet to get some sort of quote for the money that was spent.
Moving forward, if they are to continue and all tags removed(idk if this will happen), they will need to show all transactions and utilize the escrow(bl4nkcode or anyone else willing). There should never be money not protected.
